THE BEST WATERCOLOR TEACHER ONLINE ,, THANKS A LOT .

Since trying to learn watercolor painting I've watched 100s of videos trying to find one that would teach me how to control the water and I've finally found it...a resounding THANK YOU Mr. Miller! A lot of artists willing to share their talent tend to forget what the words basic and beginner truly mean to those of use just starting out, but not you sir! Your style of teaching and logical progression of each lesson is just what a beginner needs. I for one will be watching everything you care to share. So again, THANK YOU!

Wow, flashback! I took a class from you in the mid-1990s and I remember your emphasis on value and controlling the water. Thanks for the refreshers!

Immediately impressed -- he actually talks. Thanks, Stan.

I so appreciate your explanations, Stan. You address all the things that confuse beginner mind, especially when we are self taught, and it's rare to find that - I find myself watching videos just for how someone puts the brush in water, or takes water off - and your explain it. Thank you!

I have been painting for 10 years and I always had problems with controling the water. Now I understand the princip. Thank you very much :o)

Thank you for teaching us the very basic which most teachers overlook. I’ve painted watercolor for over 10 years and still can learn something from this.

Stan, thank You for such a simple but indispensable advices. You're just a brilliant teacher!

I'm trying not to repeat myself over and over so I won't.. well try not to. I got a LOT out of this and will keep going as time allows today. thank you again so much and I hope you are creating an awesome day!

i always wanted to paint, i'm trying to start. your videos are amazing, thanks for sharing!

Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces leçons de base, bien utiles pour débuter. Bravo!

Very simple and useful tutorials! Thanks mate.

This was the value video I needed! Everything is arranged as a curriculum on your channel. I'm glad that you're on KZfaq! Thank you!

Yay! Great methods for learning values and controlling water!

thank you very much to share that much info with us i am so happy that i found your chanel i am a tattoo artist also water color artist and acrelic i am starting to do realistic tattoos and portrait and your videos helpt me alot thank you very very mush you are real artist i hope that i can see you one day

you are the best. Thank you.

Very smart idea about using a sponge. Thanks!

I'm learning more from your videos than I did from my class. Thank you very much !!!! When you put your brush into the water, did you shake all the paint off or did you let a bit of paint on it for the purpose of this lesson so that you had the next value?

This is really essential. Thank you

Thanks you! Basics made easy :-)

Great stuff. The sponge is one thing that I don't do because I want to feel the water content, so my habit is a much messier one, wherein I pull the water out with my fingers (hopefully the floor isn't a rug). As time has gone by, I know exactly how much water remains in the brush for every cleanout, depending upon exactly how much water I want remaining in the bristles. That is, of course, just my approach, no more or less valid, I suppose.

thanks stan!

Im doing a project on stan miller for school and my mind is blown about the fact that he has a youtube channel. So choosing this guy as my artist is not only going to get me marks but actually help me become a better painter now. So school actually... Taught me something?

Definitely the most important aspect in learning watercolor but what exactly is "take a little less paint"? I wish more time was spent explaining those details.

Thank you..

I'm new to watercolor and I really love how you break it down to the novice level. I see a lot of other artist on KZfaq use two jars of water. Is that necessary? Why do you only use one?

Hi Stan your vids are so great they made me go out and buy some water colors :) Whats the sponges job versus wiping it on the edge of the water container? Why do you need both? Also, I bought a couple of wide synthetic brushes but im not sure if they are for water color or acrylic. Any way to tell?

This guy is brilliant. Just cuts out all the padding and bull and gets straight to the guts. We don't want to know what you had for breakfast.

I’m very upset that I didn’t find you earlier. Thank you

Can I ask what brand of brush you recommend for the beginner who just starts learning watercolor painting and for those who would like to paint portrait professionally?

thankyou

i am very thankful to you sir thanks

What do you think about allowing water to sit on a dried blob of paint in my palette and then use it when it softens?
